Car
Honda beat PP1 type
A mid-ship two-seater open sports car based on the mini-car standard, marketed by Honda from 1991 to 1998.
The car's name is derived from the English word 'beat', meaning a strong rhythm or heartbeat, and as the name implies, the Beat was developed with the aim of being a car that would bring the ultimate driving pleasure to the driver's heart.
When the Beat went on sale in 1991, many Japanese sports cars were pushing for higher power output, larger body sizes and more high technology.
Honda engineers chose the opposite approach in order to create a car that offered the ultimate in driving pleasure.
They dared to adopt the light car standard (revised in January 1990: body size limited to 3.30 m in length (1.40 m in width and 2.00 m in height), with a total displacement of 660 cc or less), which made it difficult to achieve high performance.
This was the antithesis of the Honda engineers of the time, who at the time felt little sense of oneness with the driver due to the increasing use of electronic controls and the enlarging body size of modern cars.
Honda had also developed the Beat with a fully open two-seater MR layout with an extremely compact body, a low centre of gravity, a steering wheel that dared to eliminate the power steering mechanism for a direct feeling, a manual transmission only, and a high-revving NA engine based on F1 technology of the time. The engineers poured into the Beat all the elements they could think of that would bring driving pleasure.
Their efforts bore fruit and the Beat was described by many Japanese car enthusiasts as the most fun car to drive, and it became a car loved by a great many fans, with around 70% of the 30,000 units produced still in existence.
The Honda Beat was also the last four-wheeled vehicle to be sent off by its founder, Soichiro Honda.
At the launch of the Beat, Soichiro Honda said with a smile: "It's so small, but it runs great.
'It's so small, but it runs great! The Beat is a small car, but it runs great!

Character
Takatsuki Yayoi.
Idol from 765 Productions.
She is the eldest of six siblings (one younger sister and four younger brothers) and is responsible for the cooking and housework of the family in place of her parents, who are often away from home on business, and looks after her brothers and sisters on a daily basis.
In addition to her large family, she is poor because her father's job is not stable.
She therefore decided to become an idol in order to help her family's finances as much as possible.
In the Takatsuki household, bean sprouts, which are an inexpensive foodstuff, are often on the table, and a 'bean sprout festival' is regularly held, in which Yayoi cooks only bean sprouts with a little mayonnaise and special sauce and eats them with rice as a side dish.
However, although inexpensive, the taste itself is extremely delicious, so much so that Iori Minase, another idol from 765 Productions and the daughter of one of Japan's richest men, is amazed at how delicious it is.
